Shifting

Is globalization of architecture destroying local culture or simply representing a shift. As time change so do the people change and adapt to the new and evolving ways of life. The way the world is view now is much different than it was a hundred years ago, so why should architecture nor represent that. Things might change at a more rapid pace than ever before but that does change the fact that things are changing and the way people thing and view the environment change with it. This is not a bad thing but should be embraced in architecture with buildings that show what the world is today. There might be areas that wish to hold on to the past and that’s alright. Architecture is just another way of expression that is demonstrated on a maybe larger more physical platform then someone just talking. Globalization of architecture is just a part of this expression and should be free to happen, however, those that wish to keep and express the local culture should also be free to do so creating an interesting, eclectic, weaved environment reflecting the people who live and have lived in this world.
